How can a Personal Trainer help me improve my fitness?

Personal Trainers have many
roles. They are there to provide you with education, motivation and support as
you work towards your goals. They specialize in numerous areas including GP and
exercise referral, functional training, sports specific, aerobic conditioning,
strength training and speed, quickness and agility and many more.

Personal Trainers of today
are highly skilled in exercise prescription and can teach a variety of
exercises. A session usually lasts an hour. In between sessions the Personal
Trainer will review and monitor how the prescription is developing and track
and keep records of their client’s progress on a weekly basis.

In your first session you
can expect to go through a number of tests which will help the Personal Trainer
determine your level of fitness so that they can prescribe the correct training
program for you.

These
days you can expect to find Personal Trainer’s offering their services outside
of the gym, whether it’s at their home or yours, a park or a private studio. So
if you find gyms intimidating or expensive then this is the way to go.
